What vegetables are suitable to grow in October?

In October, the temperature in most areas is getting lower and lower, and the daylight time is also shorter. The variety of vegetables that can be grown is not as many as before. You can choose some vegetables that can safely survive the winter and like to grow in a cool environment.

In October, you can plant radishes, quick vegetables, Chinese cabbage, chrysanthemum, coriander, spinach, broccoli, garlic, celery, lettuce, etc.

1. Leek

Not only do leeks taste good, they are also very easy to grow. Leeks are very cold-resistant and can survive the winter successfully in cold northern regions. You can directly sow them, or use the old root transplanting method to plant them.

2. Lettuce

Lettuce is also a cold-resistant vegetable. Its most suitable temperature is 15 to 25 degrees. Even sub-zero temperatures will not have much impact on the growth of lettuce, so October is a very suitable time for planting.

3. Rapeseed

Rapeseed has strong cold resistance and is very suitable for planting in October. However, there is a bitter spicy taste in the stems and leaves of rapeseed, and many people do not like to eat it. However, new varieties have been developed that no longer have a spicy taste and can be eaten directly in cooking.

4. Garlic sprouts

Because garlic sprouts can only be planted at a temperature of around 17 degrees, October is just the right time to plant them. In the south, they can be cultivated in courtyards in front of or behind houses, or they can be planted indoors. Garlic sprouts must be processed before planting.

5. Radish

Radish has certain detoxification and anti-cancer effects. Eating more of it can also increase immunity. It is a very healthy vegetable. Its optimal growth temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees, and it is especially suitable for planting in October.
